So glad you liked the idea presented here. You could use an “O” as well but I liked the flat edges on the letter D. If you use a thread color close to the fabric it will just melt into the background. Letters and punctuation marks can be fun to use in all kinds of different ways. Happy Stitching!

Letters are wonderful decorative graphic objects. Use them for borders, scallops, decorative motifs by repeating, mirroring and all of what your Software or machine allows you to do.
C is great for scallop edges, X for border (most of other letters are great for borders), merging capital and small letters, O is great for big eyelets: a combination of small and capital O, assorted in a row (horizontal or vertical) or in circle shape. Decorative monogramed O is a nice frame with or without a small monogram inside. Simply Play with letters and different Fonts. You will be surprised, how many decorative motifs you can do with simple letters.

Joanne,
I just wanted to let you know I so enjoy watching you on tv. You explain everything so simply as good as Nancy Zimmer.
Thank you for everything I know it sounds stupid, but I have been in some dark places mentally (no I’m not crazy) and sewing and embrodery takes me out of it. Have a great day.
